Bar application extended

The Supreme Court (SC) on Tuesday extended the deadline for application to the 2015 Bar examinations after considering the possibility that the Metro Manila-wide earthquake drill would affect traffic and overall business operations.

SC spokesman Theodore Te said the deadline has been extended to Monday, August 3, on recommendation of Associate Justice Teresita Leonardo-de Castro, head of the 2015 Bar examination committee.

The Office of the Bar Confidante will also be open to receive applications on Saturday and Sunday from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m.

This year’s Bar examinations will be held at the University of Santo Tomas in Manila on the four Sundays of November.
